Leicester City manager, Craig
Shakespeare said that he is impressed with Nigerian international, Wilfred
Ndidi’s contribution to the team.
The 20-year-old has established
himself as the first choice to partner Danny Drinkwater in City's midfield and
his immediate impact on Foxes has surpassed the expectations of even his
biggest supporters inside the team’s coaching staff, including the manager
Shakespeare.
"He is looking the part,"
said Shakespeare. "He is a young boy but he has settled in really well. I
think he has a huge future in the game.
"There was a lot of interest in
him from other clubs but he was high on the list of our recruitment team and,
in the end, we did really well to get him. I think he will be a big player for
us. He is made-to-measure for this league but he is humble and his personality
is suited to our football club. He is easy to manage."
The former Genk Belgium defender has
thrived in City's system and style of play, which is all about front foot
football. In all their four recent victories, Ndidi's power in the midfield has
been key to the success.
